    “GEORGIA ON MY MIND” Assessing the potential for music heritage tourism in Georgia. by EMILY ANNE LABORDE (Under the Direction of Professor James Reap) ABSTRACT Music is an integral part of human life and unique form of creative expression. Music is also considered a form of intangible culture by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and identified as in need of protection. To protect the intangible is a difficult task, one of the solutions being promotion and celebration of cultural practices, like music and other performing arts, through tourism. The tourism industry has been steadily growing in the United States since the 1950s and continues to do so. The state of Georgia has produced a unique and lengthy list of nationally important musicians, styles of music, and legendary venues and sites that serve as the physical representations of the developmental history of music in Georgia. Currently there is no unified “brand” for music tourism in Georgia and this thesis will illustrate the potential and need for a cohesive music heritage trail.
